Re: [gef-dev] GEF Incubator

Hey Ian,
This is still a month or two away [1] - but we have been working on getting GEF apps working on the web. Currently the home for this stuff has been on e4 but I am wondering if the GEF incubator project would be a better home.

Any thoughts?

In the long run this will likely ship to others as a GEF patch - which will be applied on GEF to get a library that you would use when you want your app working on the web. Beyond the GEF/Draw2D patch we have a swt reimplementation, so most of the code is not really GEF code. I would think that E4 would be the best home, but the reality is that the work has been for a drawing focus, so our work wouldn't be as applicable for larger swt/jface apps unless someone else wants to tackle the work. I.E., our deployment scenario is alot like RAP and integrating with them makes more sense.

[1] A month or two away - we have a couple of the toy examples working, but we want to get a couple of serious apps brought over so that we are comfortable with the stability of the work.

To host some of the exciting new development we saw over the summer (Dot4Zest and the updates to the Zest Layouts), I am putting together a proposal for an incubator project. Currently this will host these two projects, and the team from [1] have also expressed interested in moving their code to Eclipse.org.

The proposal is available here:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Gef/Incubator/Proposal

I've listed Anthony and myself as project co-leads. Chris Aniszczyk has offered to be a mentor for the work.

Please take a second to review the proposal and let me know what you think. I would like to start the process fairly soon.
